A Search for Asymmetric Kinematic Components in Circumstellar Envelopes Using OH Main Line Masers
The Astrophysical JournalCircumstellar OH maser lines are useful for studying the dynamics of the circumstellar envelope (CSE) around evolved stars. This study aims to identify CSEs around cold stars, which exhibit deviations from the spherical expansion, by comparing the ...

Polarized Maser Emission with In-source Faraday Rotation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We discuss studies of polarization in astrophysical masers with particular emphasis on the case where the Zeeman splitting is small compared to the Doppler profile, resulting in a blend of the transitions between magnetic substates.

ALMA’s Acute View of pPNe: Through the Magnifying Glass... and What We Found There
Galaxies, 2018 We present recent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)-based studies of circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) around Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and pre-Planetary Nebulae (pPNe).

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 46, Issue 2, January 15, 2025.The global minimum energy structure of astrophysically relevant MgCnH systems is linear when n is even, and cyclic when n is odd. ABSTRACT Magnesium‐containing molecules, including MgC2H, MgC4H, and MgC6H, have been detected in the interstellar medium, largely facilitated by their high dipole moments.

Natural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 4, October 2024.Large free aromatic species, with up to 61 carbon atoms, were detected in grains of the Ryugu carbonaceous asteroid using ultra‐sensitive two‐step laser mass spectrometry. This discovery confirms the presence of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium and provides new information on the formation and evolution of organic ...

Gas-phase Molecules in Protoplanetary Nebulae with the 21 μm Emission Feature
The Astronomical JournalIt has been more than 30 years since the enigmatic 21 μ m emission feature was first discovered in protoplanetary nebulae (PPNs). Although dozens of different dust carrier candidates have been proposed, there is as yet no widely accepted one.

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

Considerations on the Origin of IRAS 19312+1950 Based on Long-term Maser Observations
The Astrophysical JournalIRAS source 19312+1950 (hereafter I19312) is an infrared point source with maser emissions of SiO, H _2 O, and OH molecules. Although initial observations suggested that I19312 might be an evolved star, its characteristics are not fully consistent with ...
